Mbuna embryos possess proportionally larger subpallial, and non-mbuna exhibit the opposite, larger pallia (Student's t-test, n=16 for each of mbuna and non-mbuna, t=17.218, P<0.001, Fig. 1a; Table 1a shows data for three diverse species of mbuna and non-mbuna each, measured at stages 14 and 15).
The lengths of pistils and stamens were measured at stages 13, 14 and 15 (Smyth et al., 1990) and the stamen/pistil length ratio was calculated.
The peduncle length and diameter were measured at stages 1 and 2. The mid-portions of the flag leaf blades and the exposed peduncles were measured to ensure the uniformity of the sample material.
Secure behaviour was measured at three stages, a baseline measure stage, an intention measure stage, and a 7-day follow-up measure stage.
To quantify this effect GFP levels were measured at different stages of oogenesis within individual ovarioles: at stage 7/8 (before the reduction) and at stage 10.
Total mRNA levels using exonic primers (green arrows) were measured at each stage of the experiment.
The soil potential nitrification rates (PNR) were measured at each stage.
As a result, in presence of fiber-reinforced concrete, despite the higher ecological impact than plain concrete, the best eco-mechanical performances are generally measured at each stage of concrete life.
In the magnetizing test, five successive pulsed-fields of the same strength were applied while changing the applied field, and the time responses of the trapped flux density and temperature were measured at each stage.
Range of movement of the knee and ankle were measured at that stage.
